The awards are probably well-deserved. This program will appeal to those who don't want to, or don't know how to set up their tweaks manually. Attractive for most home users.
And, rather than just blocking AutoRun, as I understand your first screen shot, it notifies you that there is indeed an unauthorized file attempting to execute. This is the real strength of the program, IMO.
Just disabling AutoRun with a tweak still leaves you unaware that a malicious file resides on the USB drive, and otherwise vulnerable as pointed out by bcastner .
I also prefer to be alerted that a malicious file has been denied to execute, as shown in my tests. At that point, I can deal with removing it from the USB drive, as it has not been able to infect my HD.
